This year’s incoming freshmen at Duke University will be receiving 20gb iPods to use as study tools. Apple will be shipping 1,650 iPods to Durham which will be handed out to incoming students free of charge. Of course, it costs around $40K a year to attend Duke, so a $300 mp3 player shouldn’t break the bank. In case you were wondering, 1,650 iPods is close to $500,000 in gear. I hope Apple cuts Duke a little price break for the bulk order.
